FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• WHAT IS COSMETIC TATTOOING?
It is also referred to as micro pigmentation, semi-permanent or permanent makeup. Pigments are implanted into the epidermis (upper layer) of the skin.
• HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and proper care after the procedure. The results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. It is recommended to have a touch-up session annually to retain the proper shape and saturation of pigment.
• DO I NEED A TOUCH-UP?
It is extremely likely. All eyebrow, lip, eyeliner procedures are a two-session service to complete the look. The initial session and the require touch up session.
Within the first 3 weeks of the initial session, color will fade as much as 30-40%, color might look patchy and uneven. The require touch up is to complete any correction that may need to be done.
• HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE?
2-3 hours, depends on what service. Please allow a solid 3-hours window for your appointment. Cosmetic tattoo procedures are not something that can be rushed.
• DOES IT HURT?
Topical numbing cream will be applied prior to the procedure and thoroughly procedure to minimize any discomfort. Some clients may feel some discomfort. Though, we have had clients that fell asleep on our chair while getting eyebrows done. Pain level is very minimal!
• IS IT SAFE?
Absolutely! We only use sterilized, disposable needles, and supplies.
• WILL I BE SWOLLEN?
For lip and eyeliner, you might be swollen for the first couple days.
For eyebrows, you won't be swollen, you just might have slightly red skin around the eyebrows, redness usually goes away after few hours.
• DO I NEED TO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK?
No, you do not. Clients may resume normal activity directly following the procedure.
• HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL?
Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about 7-14 days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happen. The pigment will then take some time to settle into the skin, a good month should pass before the procedure is considered complete.
• WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?
I (the artist) will shape/draw/map your (the client) eyebrows with makeup pencil and let you check it out. During the drawing process we can adjust the shape, thickness, according to how you like it best. As an artist, we may have recommendations based on our knowledge of what suits a person asthetically best, but the final decision is yours to decide. Once, both the artist and client have agreed on the final shape, we proceed with the tattooing procedure.
Please be mindful that all faces are naturally asymmetrical. We request that all clients carefully examine and approve the predraw before we begin the tattooing procedure.
• WHAT COLOR WILL I GET?
The color will mimic your natural brow hair as best as possible, unless a different color is desired.
• I ALREADY HAVE MY EYEBROWS TATTOOED / MICROBLADED AND WANT TO CHANGE IT. CAN YOU HELP?
